The Passenger

Thriller

Hassan, a Somali-American airport shuttle driver in Minneapolis, is struggling to make ends meet. When Lloyd, a stranded twenty-something at the airport, offers to pay Hassan to take him overland to Chicago, it seems worth the risk.

    The Passenger (1975) is a Michelangelo Antonioni film starring Jack Nicholson and Maria Schneider. This is not that. #whitebriefs #tightywhities

    Jack Nicholson's favourite from his own movies, Michael Antonioni's 1975 film The Passenger is an existential masterpiece. A journalist switches identities with an arms dealer in this astonishing film; the stunning penultimate shot is seven minutes long. 5 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/09/03/t...

    I had a free movie rental code that was going to expire earlier this week so I just grabbed THE PASSENGER and stuck it in my library to watch later as it's been on my watchlist for a while. It doesn't look like an 8pm Friday kind of movie. But it does look like an 11:30pm Friday Night Movie.

    THE PASSENGER (1975) was one of JACK NICHOLSON’s favourite of his own films. So much so he acquired the rights to the film from MGM in compensation for a film project that fell through, and was the principal figure behind the film getting a DVD release. #MichelangeloAntonioni

    Went to see Candy Mountain at the MOMA with a friend a few days ago, and she suggested that I watch Vanishing Point after I brought up the idea that Candy Mountain reminded me a bit of The Passenger, and I can’t believe I hadn’t seen Vanishing Point before. What a film.

    Uneven but enjoyable. Ovredal always knows how to make a great looking picture (fantastic use of Roman Holiday). The Passenger himself looked too generic, and I didn’t care for the needle drops. Not a bad horror movie imo, but a safe one in a month of big swings and new voices.

It would make a great film, very much in the vein of classic Hitchcock thrillers such as THE LADY VANISHES, NOTORIOUS & THE 39 STEPS! #BookSky #FilmSky
